Some weird crap happened on my phone and couldn't install any apps through Playstore and keep getting 504 error. Did all the things I could do like delete cache from Play Store and Remove and reapply my accounts. Still nothing happened.
Uninstalled my Google Play Store updates and now it doesn't want to install anything even through third party apk. When I restarted the phone and did another dalvik/cache wipe my phone's softbricked and stuck at the logo.
I just want to go back to Stock. It's been a since I've done some flashing. Can anyone help me out with this? Would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
If you're planning to go stock from scratch, as in, delete everything, just follow this guide:

I mean, I know you already deleted the cache from play store but you just need to do the following in my opinion, it has helped me alot (before you flash your phone):
1. Turn off your phone
2. Press and hold Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons. Wait until the phone vibrates and you see the Samsung logo.
3. Wait until you see the recovery screen
4. Scroll down with the Volume Down button to the Wipe Cache Partition (NOT WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET)
5. Press the Power button to select
6. Scroll up with the Volume Up button to Reboot System Now
It is said that this resolves 90% of your problems. I know it has saved me a few times from having to re-install my system or flash...
Hope this helps!!

Is there a way to reinstall my android system if for example android crash and wont boot?
Are you using a custom rom?
Are you rooted?
You can always do a nandroid backup (backup of complete system) via clockwork.
I think you mean a factory reset. Hold the volume down key while powering up the phone and you can select that option from the boot loader.
Yes but i mean, if factory reset wont even work. and it only reboots every 30 sec.
Like the system is really ****ed. and the only way is to reinstall android.
this happened because i satt down installing apps and games for hours and then did a restart just to completely refresh the system. and there it hangs in the boot and just keeps restarting and restarting 4 ever.
And i haven't made any backup to restore from.
I do not use any custom rom
And yes i am rooted. i have clockwork mod installed.
i used the lastest unrevoked. but i dont think nand is unlocked.
is the solution maybe to find the right update.zip and use that method to reinstall android via recovery? since i can mount USB mass storage to the PC via recovery?
You can do a complete reset. Go into your recovery. Vol down and power then select recovery. Once booted, do a factory reset and wipe the Dalvik cache. Then you can flash the rom again and start from fresh.
If that doesn't work, you can get a WWE RUU and run it. It will wipe everything so you will need to root again but it will give you back control of your phone. Just to let you know, if you do use an RUU you might need to create a Goldcard.
Sweet!!! Thanks GoogleJelly!!
Did the complete reset with success Even though i recall doing something like this in recovery. Ohwell just did exactly what you said and my Desire works like a dream again
At least now i know what people mean with "playing around with random apps is dangerous"
This is something that i've been searching around the web for. But keep finding this: There is nothing that you can do. Take it back to the store and send it to repair.
Though i would send it to repair if it weren't for GoogleJelly =)
I installed android Cyanogen then I use ROM Manager to download Virtuous 3.2 ROM. When installed, I did not choose to wipe data. Bumb. After the installation, it keeps rebooting and could not get into the phone. I tried hard reset, "clear storage" and factory reset, no help. When I get into RECOVERY, it shows a list of options but when I hit power button to select, it showed a black hat with a yellow partially circle arrows. What can I do other than with a hammer? Thanks.

rename it to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card. Boot up the phone while holding vol - & pwr. When it boots into bootloader it will check the image to verify everything is ok, proceed with the update all the way through. When it is all done it will be back to a a stock 2.2 Inc like when you bought it from verizon.
Now, please read up on the information here before you go doing anything else. What happened to you is a simple fix, but the next time you may go about bricking your phone. Read up on the information here before you go flashing like crazy, it will help a ton in the end.
g00s3y,
Thank you very much for your advice. You fixed the problem. I have learned my lesson, playing with something that I am not sure how to deal with the outcomes.
Thanks, so after I install this, will I be able to completely wipe my phone?
"will I be able to completely wipe my phone?"
- Yes, it did wipe out my phone completely.
I'm on stocked JB 4.1 with root active. I had installed some apps, like app2sd, busybox and airdroid. Just after this I did a reboot into recovery then
1) clear cache
2) clear daviak cache,
3) clear battery stats
4) fix permissions
5) reboot into system.
Just after following the above process my note 2 keeps on rebooting from Samsung N7100 boot logo to homescreen for (2 sec) and then again reboot.
I can't find a way to understand what went wrong please someone help me.
Sorry I'm not posting this message for any help but I can confirm that 'fix permissions' option is the culprit here. Some days back I did the same and the device went to reboot loop. Had to made a full wipe.
Whatever, I'm not gonna touch that option again. I hate my phone this way, some kids do like problems however.
Sent from my GT-N7100
So I am keen on how to fix bootloops and going back to stock/rooting, etc...
My friend asked me if I could fix his phone for him, so I said why not. Thing is, it's the weirdest problem I ever faced with a phone, EVER.
The problem is the phone boots normally, I unlock the pattern, some seconds later it turns off and reboots. So I said hey why not boot into safe mode, perhaps it's an app causing all of this, so I did, worked perfectly, turns out "Google Play Services" was "forcing close" and suddenly phone turns off. I uninstalled all updates, cleared data, cache, everything and installed EVERY SINGLE APP on the phone and removed pattern, then rebooted phone. BUT, when i rebooted, the pattern was back, language was back to arabic (I changed it to english when in safe mode), ALL APPS were back, and the updates to Google Play Services were back. It's like I didn't do anything. So I said before it turns off I'm goin to try 1 thing, so I immediately went into settings and managed to uninstall updates for Google Play Services and cleared cache data, even to all google apps, and then I re-uninstalled all applications (out of safe mode), I thought perhaps when irebooted from safe mode, everything was back, now that I'm goin to reboot out of safe mode, this will work. So I rebooted, and guess what? EVERY SINGLE APP was back, system language back to arabic, AGAIN, and pattern was back and GPServices updates were back.
So I said hey, let's factory reset. SO I went into safe mode, I hit factory reset, phone reboots to recovery (vol up + power ) > Factory reset done > wipe cache partition done > reboot : EVERYTHING WAS THE SAME. I am completely shocked. I tried doing Factory reset out of safe mode too, same result. So I said hey, let's unlock this thing and just flash a stock rom, that'll fix it indeed. I went into fastboot and tried flashing the unlock token, the confirmation page appeared, clicked "YES", phone reboots: PATTERN AND EVERYTHING STILL THERE, while they shouldn't be since unlock performs a Factory reset, so I went back to fastboot and it indeed was NOT unlocked, I tried many times and it failed every single time I tried.
So I said hey, download AVG Antiviirus and run it perhaps it can find the problem, so I did and ran it, couldn't find anything, rebooted phone and AVG was gone. So I said, hey, again, download Google Play Services and install it on your phone, perhaps it will permanently override the one existing and it will fix the problem (it didn't, it would disappear and the old G.P.S reappear as soon as I reboot). So I said hey, you got the OTA Zip, it has the firmware, perhaps flashing that firmware will shake things up, most probably brick the phone but perhaps will let me unlock it. So I went into fastboot > fastboot oem RebootRUU > phone reboots normally, I CAN'T even access RebootRUU.
So as you can see I probably tried everything one can do in this situation.
Yesterday, I scheduled my phone to update the new software at 2.00 A.M then left it charging. When I woke up, it was stuck on the Samsung rebooting logo. I can enter recovery mode.
Tried soft reset, wipe cache but doesn't open
I guess if I can update it manually via PC, it will be okay. But I don't know how to do it without losing my data. (I have very important photos and vidos)
I have never downloaded any unoriginal system update

Since you've never done it and you have very important data, ask someone who knows how to do it. You will need a single-file for odin.
Happened to my A225F when I updated to Android 13.
I pressed power button for about 30 seconds and it restarted. Went through optimizing applications screen and...voilá, came back to normal.
isn't that normal in samsung phones? I still can't believe people still choose that brand

The brand doesn't matter. You need to be able to choose the right model.
